But a place where they're treating people based on the language they speak doesn't sound like it ever could be the greatest city in the world, right?
Anyway, the younger generation of Parisians has been very willing to conversate in English to me actually. Though of course I experienced as well that you instantly win a lot of sympathy when trying to conversate in broken French with a heavy foreign accent. But who wouldn't appreciate that?
